What you should know

- [Instructor] This is not a beginner course,so you need to have some experience with other technologiesto get the most out of this course.First, I want to make surethat you have a general background in web designwith some experience with HTML, CSS,and especially JavaScript.You can use this course to learn the basics of Angular,but I will not be discussing those other topics.Now, because it has to be compiled into JavaScript,you should be familiar working with a package.json fileas well as NPM scripts.

So you can take a look atUp and Running with NPM, The Node Package Manager,if you need help, as well as Tooling with NPM Scripts.This version of Angular is very differentfrom previous versions,so if you're coming from AngularJS 1,you may want to take a look atUp and Running with AngularJS 1.The sample application we'll be buildingis based on what we did in this course.So if you're wonderingwhat some of the differences are between the frameworks,it might be good to watch this course as well.

To make things easier, I have a copy of the assetsfor this course on my GitHub page.So make sure you have taken the courseUp and Running with Git and GitHubto understand how to work with the assets.Learn Angular is not for beginners,but with some background experience,you should have no problem taking this course.

The Angular 2 framework lets you get things done quickly by providing a model for development that yields special functionality. This course introduces you to Angular 2, the second edition of the "superheroic" JavaScript framework. Redesigned from the ground up by Google, Angular 2 provides advanced features for building single-page applications: declarative templates, two-way data binding, TypeScript support, and dependency injection. Angular 2 now offers components, instead of the controllers typical of MVC architecture. The update is suitable for mobile and web developers alike.

In this course, Ray Villalobos shows you how to start using Angular 2 in your own projects. He starts by defining what exactly Angular 2 is and how it differs from AngularJS 1. Then, once the basics are out of the way, he sets up the template that will drive the project and starts coding. Ray shows how to divide your project into modules, work with events, style content with CSS, and create components and subcomponents. Plus, you can find out how to change content dynamically using data pipes.
